Our Wednesday clinic is still going strong! Thanks to USCF Fresno CEP, attendees are now able to receive blood pressure and blood sugar screenings. We are open every Wednesday from 1pm to 5pm at the Sharon Stanley-Rea Center.
We are still looking for host families to host Ukrainian arrivals as they wait for work permits and more permanent housing. If you have a room or unit to spare, please fill out this form and we will be in touch.
World Refugee Day is around the corner. FIRM will be hosting a World Refugee Day celebration on Wednesday June 22nd, and we’d love to have you join us. If you’re interested in volunteering, tabling or sponsoring, please reach out.
Our housing counseling team has grown! We are excited that we have three staff currently studying to become HUD certified counselors, and five of us were able to attend the recent NeighborWorks Training Institute in Los Angeles, to learn even more about how to better help our community.
FIRM was featured in a recent blog by the Urban Institute, highlighting our amazing Community Health Workers and our COVID-19 Response.
On May 28th, we will honor the next Neng Thao Memorial Scholar, in preparation for Sunday the 29th, which is Neng Thao Day.
